Vaccines and Autism

[Minimalist]

Autism seemed not to exist when vaccines did not exist.

Interesting.  I've often noted that when I was growing up in the 50's every other kid brought a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for lunch.  I never once saw someone collapse into a shivering pile of peanut-induced shit.  And yet,

The most severe allergic reaction to peanuts is anaphylaxis — a life-threatening whole-body response to an allergen. Symptoms include impaired breathing, swelling in the throat, a sudden drop in blood pressure, pale skin or blue lips, fainting and dizziness. Unless treated immediately with epinephrine (adrenaline), typically administered in an auto-injector, anaphylaxis can be fatal.

noted scientific colleges swear to the accuracy of the impact of peanuts.    From the same source comes:

In recent years, awareness about peanut allergy in children has risen, as has the number of peanut allergy cases reported. In May 2010, a study noted that the rate of peanut allergies in children, as reported in a telephone survey, had more than tripled between 1997 and 2008.

I can't imagine what the hell happened between 1967 and 1997 but I doubt it has anything to do with vaccines ( we had them and no one ever got sick from them either ) or human evolution or even peanut evolution.  I do wonder what they might be spraying on the peanut crops and when such spraying was implemented.
